A Harbinger of Good Things to Come
We're delighted that the September IndieNEXT List
of "Great Reads from Booksellers You Trust" showcases a book by an
author we'll be welcoming to the store in just a few weeks. It's Did You Ever Have a Family by Bill Clegg, and it's one of the season's most anticipated new novels. Not only 
that, the book is longlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize. Bill Clegg will be making his only Chicago-area appearance at The Book Stall on Tuesday, September 22, at 7 pm.
(He stops in Winnetka just after appearing at the esteemed Elliott Bay
Bookstore in Seattle and just before traveling on to Denver's Tattered
Cover.)

Did You Ever Have a Family,
which goes on sale next Tuesday, September 1, is the story of a woman
whose life is devastated when on the eve of her daughter's wedding a
shocking disaster takes the lives of her daughter, her daughter's
fiancé, her ex-husband, and her boyfriend. The book has received starred
reviews across the board. Kirkus Reviews, for example, called it "an attempt to map how the unbearable is borne, elegantly written and bravely imagined."
